  • "David Livingstone is revered as one of history's greatest explorers and missionaries, first European to cross Africa, and first to find Victoria Falls and source of the Congo River. In this edition, the author provides the fully rounded portrait of this complicated man - dogged by failure throughout his life despite his full share of success."
  • "Born in an overcrowded slum near Glasgow in 1813, David Livingstone spent his boyhood and youth working in a cotton mill. Yet he still found time to educate himself and eventually became a doctor. He went to Africa as a medical missionary in 1841 and stayed for thirty years. Missionary, geographer, astronomer, ethnologist, anthropologist, chemist, and botanist, he discovered the Victoria Falls and the source of the Congo and made the first authenticated European crossing of the continent. Published to coincide with the centenary of Livingstone's death in 1873, this book is a comprehensive biography of his life which uses an abundance of new source material to understand the man and separate him from the deeply ingrained legend."
